ABC iView is where Bluey lives, and that alone makes it one of the most-watched free services in Australia. The streaming home of the national broadcaster pairs the global kids phenomenon with homegrown comedy like Fisk and Hard Quiz, prestige drama such as The Newsreader, and the investigative weight of Four Corners and Australian Story. Six channels run live too, among them ABC TV, ABC News and ABC Kids. Because the ABC is funded by the taxpayer, there is not a single ad. The catch is that the library is licensed for Australia only, and since March 2026 a free ABC account is required, so abroad the app blocks playback. Watching ABC iView from anywhere comes down to one workaround.
That workaround is a VPN. It routes your connection through an Australian server, gives you a local IP and convinces the ABC you never left Sydney. With Surfshark you reach Bluey, the dramas and the live channels in up to 1080p, whether you travel or live abroad.
